Sri vEnkaTESwaruni singAramu

P Sri vEnkaTESwaruni singAramu varNinchitE
yE vidhAna talachinA inniTiki tagunu ||
Sri Venkateswara's beauty surely deserves to be described in a number of ways.
C 1 karirAju gAchina chakramu paTTina hastamu
karitunDamani cheppagA namarunu
varamulichchEyaTTi varada hastamu kalpa
taru SAkhayani pOlpadagu neekunu ||
The hand that wielded divine discus to rescue the elephant king can be compared to elephant trunk. The hand that bestows boons can be well compared to the branch of celestial 'Parijata' tree.
C 2 jaladhi buTTina pAncha janya hastamu neeku
jaladhi taragayani chATavachchunu
balu kALinguni tOka paTTina kaTi hastamu
polupai phaNeendruDani pogaDadagunu ||
The hand that wields divine 'Panchajanya' conch born in ocean can be declared as ocean wave. The hand that caught the mighty Kaliya serpent can be rightly described as Adisesha.
C 3 naLina hastambula naDumanunna nee yura
munalamElumanga kiravanadagunu
balu Sri vEnkaTagiripai nelakonna ninnu
nalari Sri vEnkaTESuDanadagunu ||
Chest between his lotus-like hands is the most suitable abode for his consort Alamelumanga. Lord Venkatesa splendidly shines on the holy Venkata hill.
